The ART Mission & Theater seeks to exhibit works of artistic excellence by emerging artists, both regional and national. We will consider recent works in all media as well as fully articulated concepts for projects or installations by artists or guest curators. Submissions must demonstrate a serious and professional body of work. Slides must be received by the last week of February.
Our selection panel will be comprised of qualified art professionals from both inside and outside of the organization. The ART Mission & Theater coordinates exhibition schedule and may select additional artists to participate in order to facilitate a well-rounded program. While artists are primarily chosen through the annual review process, artists are also selected from past submissions that have been kept on file, studio and gallery visits, referrals, artist web sites, and ongoing research. We generally schedule exhibitions a year in advance.
